The concept of the infinite garden is what initially brought many people to Ethereum. This is the core, the essence of the seemingly utopian concept that we can organise societies in a better way. We won’t get into The DAO here today but that mirage of a diverse ecosystem of individuals and organisations that build and grow is something that we can all help to manifest again. It is starting to happen again now with people new to the ecosystem. What often gets lost in the narrative around Ethe...

We have $1000 for properties that are optimising for biodiversity throughout Ireland and you didn’t apply yet? The process is really straightforward, set up a profile on Artizen add some details about your project, apply to our fund - we have a good feeling you will be accepted. All of the money available needs to go directly to properties who are doing their best to create new habitats for wildlife. It’s not a competition, we just want to give money to properties optimising for biodiversity....

From the minds that brought you - none of that nonsense, we bring you something better. With a collection of reservoirs for biodiversity throughout Ireland that serve as the basis for premium, better designed ITMO that actually work to mitigate climate change by making it more viable for landowners to do the right thing. With the transparency that blockchain technology provides we can scale the route to market for climate solutions that previously would never have been funded. Búan enables th...

Art has always been central to our approach since the very beginning, even somewhat intertwined with funding. As in fact covered in the first article published here - we looked to create an NFT collection that illustrated what we stood for and the problems we saw ourselves tackling. There were two sides to the collection; The Dark Forest that was derived from very dark monocultural plantation forestry and the more joyful Living Breathing part. To create them we sifted through a library of fam...

Looking into the Dublin Mountains Partnership, which we began to cover parts of in our two last two posts we were pleasantly surprised by the initiative. Starting to restore the balance between commercial forestry, recreation and enhancing habitats that can support biodiversity. We wait to see whether this will be limited or form part of a much wider plan to actually start respecting nature across the region and the rest of Ireland. Is it just a diversion to placate people who know what they ...

Whether you are walking, mountain biking, cycling or simply in it for the views and immersing yourself in the natural beauty of it all - here are some spots that really highlight the difference between commercial and native woodlands which you can appreciate this autumn. There is a lot more to unpack, looking into all of the plans for the immediate area around Dublin - that will get it’s own post later, so subscribe to learn more about that as we dive into the docs again.Tibradden - a surpris...

Optimising for car parking? Everyone could use with getting out more into the amazing landscapes that surround the Dublin. From Howth to the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains there are loads of really spectacular places to immerse yourself in nature. Whenever someone says they are visiting Dublin - first piece of advice? Get out of Dublin! At least go and see some of Wicklow. One of the nearest places that people can go is the Hellfire Club and Massey’s forest estate, split by the road that runs b...

Effectively incentivising landscape level improvements means creating markets to tackle problems. Programmable money helps to create more complex, conditional markets that can avoid the pitfalls of the measurement problem. Using machine learning enables objective analysis of habitats and avoiding corrupt data can be helped by diversifying the kinds of information the system takes into account. Before we even get to creating a market for what we are tokenising we are first of all ensuring that...

Made a flying visit down to Kerry to see the plot in the winter time. Leaving at seven in the morning from Dublin Heuston we took the train down to Killarney and drove through the National Park to Sneem. Everything was draped in a thick blanket of fog, so thick we did not even see the property or any of the landscape at all on the first day. The air was full of water, drenching everything growing through it, really showing us how wet this place could be. Exploring the plot was a challenge giv...

BÚAN_ fund is pleased to declare its support for this spectacular 17.83 hectare site in the beautiful county of Kerry. The first of many that we have stacked and ready to go. With the agreement of the landowners we are minting this land to our treasury. We will have completed a baseline environmental survey identifying the habitats and species present soon. So far we have collated 117 species of flora, fauna and wildlife. We have also started the process of commissioning a high resolution map...

Recently we have been part of the Impact Verification Bundle on GitCoin raising funds to work on solutions that bring an additional layer of integrity to projects claims. For our own part we are working to add legal templates for agreements between landowners and impact certificate issuers. We have also been lobbying the relevant organs here in Ireland to lay the rails for a frictionless EU based blockchain incorporation wrapper. So whats the problem we are trying to solve for? Essentially it...
